Lubuntu 14.04 wireless problem.

The distributions all have exactly the same base, so trying them doesn't change anything on your system except the default colour scheme and a few default applications........

You have a lot of output but you haven't actually said what wireless chip you are using, which we need.

What is the output of:

sudo lshw -C network; lsb_release -a; uname -a; sudo iwlist scan

Thanks

The following procedure applies to all supported releases of Ubuntu that are NOT End of Life (EOL) in the following table:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases

Please first connect your network card to the wireless router using an ethernet cable (also known as a LAN cable) and apply all updates.

In order to gather essential troubleshooting information about your wireless card, please follow this procedure:

Step 1

In the Ubuntu Terminal console , make sure that unlimited scrolling is enabled:

click on Edit > Profiles > "Default" profile > Scrolling. Choose "Unlimited" as scrolling option. Click Close and Close again.

If you are using the Gnome interface, open the Terminal console via "Applications->Accessories->Terminal"

If you are using the Unity interface (default graphical user interface in Ubuntu), use the 'search' function on the dash. Or you can click on the 'More Apps' button, click on the 'See more results' by the installed section, and find it in that list of applications. A third way, available after you click on the 'More Apps' button, is to go to the search bar, and see that the far right end of it says 'All Applications'. You then click on that, and you'll see the full list. Then you can go to Accessories > Terminal after that.

So the methods in Unity are:

Press CTRL-ALT-T key combination.

Dash > Search for Terminal

Dash > More Apps > 'See More Results' > Terminal

Dash > More Apps > Accessories > Terminal

Step 2

Please copy-paste the following diagnostic command from the

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WirelessTroubleshootingProcedure

website using a web browser (like Google Chromium or Mozilla Firefox) into the Linux Terminal. The command STARTS with the word sudo and ENDS with the word lsmod. So please copy-paste the ENTIRE diagnostic command below from the web browser into a Terminal, press <enter>, then enter password when sudo asks for password, then press enter again.

Tip: If you have a wheel mouse or 3 button mouse you do not need to type commands into the Terminal. Highlight the diagnostic command written on the page. Move your cursor anywhere in the Terminal and press the wheel or middle button. Automatic Copy and paste! No spelling mistakes! No Typos! No other errors!

Your Terminal output shows several issues:

1)
                    ESSID:"RICK"
                    Frequency:2.412 GHz (Channel 1)
                    ESSID:"ATT473"
                    Frequency:2.412 GHz (Channel 1)
                    ESSID:"Yemaya"
                    Frequency:2.437 GHz (Channel 6)
                    ESSID:"Callahan"
                    Frequency:2.437 GHz (Channel 6)
                    ESSID:"BHN303"
                    Frequency:2.462 GHz (Channel 11)

In order to avoid wireless interference from the other wireless access points, please change the wireless transmission channel on your router to channel 3.

2)

wlan0 IEEE 802.11bgn ESSID:"Yemaya" Nickname:"rtl_wifi"
          Mode:Managed Frequency:2.437 GHz Access Point: 68:7F:74:C6:36:99
          Bit Rate:72 Mb/s Sensitivity:0/0

The bit rate of 72 Mb/s is too high and is also destabilizing your wireless Internet connection.

I recommend logging into the homepage of your wireless router and forcing the router to use Wireless-G speeds (54 Mb/s speeds).

Fixing both these issues should normally solve your wireless issue.

Thank you for responding. I eill try your suggested fix when able to shut down the router.
